years, and 0. 6. Carlin, who presided over tue
the Official barber shop. He was sent up from

One Of the most pleasant dancing parties OF
the season was that given in Opera hall Oh
Wednesday evening. 1t was under the con-
troll and management Of party Of young

excellent. and the programme OF dances

conlmendable manner as to give universal
satisfaction. 4 series OF parties will perhaps
follow in the wake of the one given. With the
same watchful care and guidance that has
characterized this first effort, there can be- no
doubt but that an era of unbos1n0ed pleasure
